The DentalPANDA is a project that grew out of a frustrating attempt to pass the NBDE part I and II. In the pursuit of US accreditation, this New Zealand-trained Australian general dentist undertook a long 9 month journey of intense study to prepare for the 2 tests required, while working full time. All the while, wondering…
"WHY IS THIS SO HARD"
I had been working for over a decade in clinical practice, but it had been a long time since being immersed in full-time study, so it took a little time getting into “study mode”. Like many do, I reached out to see what study guides were available, only to find the majority of NBDE study tools were outdated, expensive, and of limited help. With the introduction of the new Integrated National Board Dental Examination, I set out to create the study tool that I wished I had when I was studying! An aid that is comprehensive, systematic, intuitive, and utilizes modern study technique to boost preparation efficiency and improve results!
The DentalPANDA platform is custom built to see you pass the INBDE first try! It was written in 3 countries over 3 years, drawing on updated dental science, current clinical experience, and modern study practices. It features 80+ high-yield chapters organized into 9 courses, and contains in excess of 1000 newly curated questions modelled after the new INBDE exam format. The DentalPANDA will not slowly age into irrelevance! Every week new material is added to keep you updated with changes in the dental field to make sure you don’t get left behind. Start your journey towards success! Let’s get you ready for the big day..

What makes Dental Panda stand out from the crowd?
Many study tools and examination simulators sell themselves on the number of questions in their question bank.

Does Dental Panda include photos and radiographs?
YES! Our pandas’ library includes hundreds of clinical photos, radiographs, graphs, tables, illustrations and more! All hand-picked and curated to make your preparation as efficient and pain free as possible.
Who created the Dental Panda resources?
This study tool was born out of the frustration of studying for the INBDE. Current study aids seem to be either composed of old recycled Part II & II content, or tend to be very expensive!
